Woods tells WaPo: "Of all the huge problems that he's confronting, I actually think this
one is the easiest. Look, we're a country at war fighting in two different places and trying to combat terrorism all around the world. We need every able-bodied American who wants to serve their country to be allowed."

Woods also shared his frustration on the ongoing race-baiting in the aftermath of Proposition 8a—such as these comments earlier in a post on Lt. Dan Choi, also discharged under DADT. "It's going to be defeated in the future when we build a coalition of African Americans and Hispanics and folks from every swath of life in California. ... It's not at all helpful for the LGBT community, right or wrong, to scapegoat the African American community. That's the exact group of people who you need to speak to immediately and get them on board. What I hope I can do in the future is be a bridge for that. I'm a member of both of those communities and that's how we're going to be able to start speaking to each other in a language we both understand."

I'm loving this guy more and more. Kudos to him for speaking out against the prevalent meme that if only for the blacks, we'd have gay marriage in every state. Gay marriage bans have been implemented in the whitest to the blackest states. Let's give it a rest. The Anti-Gay forces are reaching out hard to minority communities to get them on their bandwagon of hate and it's working. All we do is point fingers.
